My Dear Stedman,
I do not need to
introduce to you, except for sake
of form, Mr George E Woodberry
who is doing Poe, in the
American Men of Letters.
I hope I can count upon
your interest in our series,
to the extent that you will
do for Mr Woodberry what you
would do for me - give
good advice and information as
you consistently [ can --? it ?]
Poe material.
Mr Woodberry would [bid, list ?]
alms to [Mr Mrs Stutland, ?]
and I hope you can bring
it about. I do not think
it but for me to give
him a letter to Mr[ Stutland,?]
for I perceive he was a
little cool to me, perhaps
because I have not asked
his assistance in the
series.
Your friend
C. D. Warren
